Should Fall Out Boy have spent their time making this out-of-left-field, traditional punk record? Probably not.

Are they rich, famous and can do whatever they want without worrying what the average naysayer thinks? Yes.

Just six months after their release of chart-topping Save Rock and Roll, Pete Wentz and the gang are set to roll out a punk "mix tape," called Pax Am Days Oct. 15, which sounds nothing like anything the power-pop guys have ever done.

The band began streaming the full album — 8 short songs that together, clock in around 15 minutes combined — today, and from the outset, it's a tough listen.

But tunes like "Eternal Summer" and "Hot to the Touch, Cold on the Inside" actually have some redeeming qualities. There's a glimmer of melody in these and they stretch beyond the punk parody that is the rest of the record.

Take a listen and see what you think. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
